REVIEW SUMMARY

While it doesn’t soar as high as its predecessor, Frozen 2 has plenty of enchanted amusement to go around. One thing the film does improve on though, is the impressive computer-animated visuals. Here, we get some truly awe-inspiring bursts of vibrant imagery, made all the more spectacular on the big screen (this is also one time 3D viewing may actually be justified). The filmmakers also deserve credit for not playing things too safe in the script department, as there are some surprisingly deep (and at times dark) plot points surrounding things like family lineage and righting the wrongs of the past. But what about the songs you ask? Oh, there’s songs. A lot of songs. Perhaps too many songs. But unfortunately, none of them truly standout, at least not on the same level as the first instalment’s now infamous chart-topper “Let It Go.” But here’s the thing, Frozen 2 is pretty much guaranteed to captivate kids (and kids at heart) for its 103 minute runtime, thanks to sparks of dazzling imagination and wondrous images throughout. In other words, it’s another big checkmark for Disney in the “kiddie crowd pleaser column."
